Cumberland steps up at tight end

The Illinois football team has had its fair share of injuries this season, and Saturday’s 38-13 win against Michigan was no exception.

Senior Michael Hoomanawanui (ankle) and sophomore Hubie Graham (back) were sidelined for the game, leaving the Illini without their top two tight ends.

Redshirt freshman tight end London Davis received significant playing time for the first time in his career, and senior wide receiver Jeff Cumberland shifted over to line up at tight end for most of the day.
